Highlights
This beautiful mosque has a distinctive octagonal minaret and is one of the earliest examples decorated with tiles in Tunisia.
The sundial clock on the south face would be standard on any church bell tower in Spain but doesn’t appear on a minaret anywhere else in the world.
Testour’s Andalusian heritage is preserved in many small details such as houses covered in beautiful curved ceramic roof tiles similar to those found in many regions of Spain.
Habiba M’sika’s house: This famous Jewish singer lived and died tragically at the hands of her lover in Testour.
Dougga the best preserved Roman site in Tunisia.
Itinerary
Tastur
4 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeTestour is an ancient Numidian site named ‘Tichilla’ by Roman invaders. Like many Numidian sites, it is built on a hill for protection. Centuries after the Numidians, Andalusian Muslim refugees evicted from Spain in the wake of the Christian conquest in the 1600s fled to Testour bringing with them rich Spanish history. These new Andalusian communities were renowned throughout North Africa for their commercial abilities and hard work. Over the years Testour has been occupied by Numidians, Romans, Andalusians, Jews and Muslims.Dougga
